Abstract

To numerically solve a system of linear algebraic equations with a tridiagonal matrix, a recursive version of Cramer’s rule is proposed. This method requires no additional restrictions on the matrix of the system similar to those formulated for the double-sweep method. The results of numerical experiments on a large set of test problems are presented. A comparative analysis of the efficiency of the method and corresponding algorithms is given.
